Europe is approaching a pivotal moment in post-trade harmonization with the introduction of the ECB centralized platform for securities settlement, TARGET2-Securities (T2S). Monte Titoli and the LSEG fully endorse the main goal of T2S to reduce cross border settlement costs and complexity across Europe, offering to customers a single entry point for all T2S markets through a suite of integrated services including settlement, custody, asset servicing and concentrate liquidity needs (cash and collateral management).

The system will start settlement operations on June 22nd 2015; Monte Titoli, the major CSD in T2S Wave 1, is fully committed to monitor and facilitate a smooth migration of its current and prospective clients’ activities into the new platform.
